The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (PGIMER), a premier health institute in Chandigarh, is in the midst of a controversy after 36 nursing students were reportedly grounded for a week for not attending the event where the 100th episode of the prime minister’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio programme was broadcast on April 30.
While PGIMER has remained tightlipped since the matter came to light on Wednesday, May 10, reports suggest that the institute’s director had made attending the programme, which was held within the campus, mandatory for students.
